Our recent trip to Santa Fe was so much fun that I thought I would share a few of the details if you have ever been considering a trip. We took the girls with us, but I think that this is a location that you can do either with or without kids easily. Our trip was a 5 day, 4 night trip and would have loved it to be day or two longer. We stayed at the Buffalo Thunder Hilton Resort (pictured above) and I would highly recommend with kids. A great pool (for them), spa (for me), and casino (for him). It had a few restaurants in it but we LOVED eating around downtown Santa Fe.
The Plaza is obviously the highest attraction in Santa Fe and we went a couple times because there were so many merchants and shops to see. Adelyn loved walking the streets with her little bag looking at all the jewelry and Emery loved dancing to live bands. Great food, handmade goods by the locals, and gorgeous cathedrals–the Plaza is definitely the place to go.
It was so fun to find different and delicious places to eat. We would highly recommend Pantry Restaurant for finding a meal everyone will love, The Plazuela rated one of the best Mexican restaurants in Santa Fe (it did not disappoint), and last for a great breakfast we went to the French Pastry Shop (see below).
We went with family on this trip and so Saturday night all the ladies of the group went to the Santa Fe Opera to see Roméo et Juliette. It was absolutely fantastic and would highly recommend going to see an opera if you are in Santa Fe.
The views from the opera were breathtaking and was so neat to watch the sun set as the opera began.
Santa Fe was the perfect, easy getaway vacation for our family and would recommend the visit. We have many more travels coming up so I thought I would share a post for each one as a guide for others to read. I know it helps me to have recommendations of what to do or where to go before I visit. You can also read my post on our Caribbean Cruise here.
